Death's Mistress

This book is about the place where he stopped writing science fiction and switched to libertarian propaganda. The big old bad meanie is supposed to be a socialist while the hero is an Ayn Rand figure who somehow changes the world with his purity of effort. When he carves his capitalist statue, all the rest of the world, having only seen socialist statues, is gripped in awe and religious fervor and most in the population realize that they have to change their ways. In fact, the premise is so ridiculous that rather than propaganda, a better term is probably libertarian porn.

Wouldn't recommend.

Wow! That was quite the journey...! I enjoyed it a lot, but the narrator really should have just stuck with one voice throughout the book. This was my first Terry Goodkind book, and it's left a good impression despite what everyone has said about him. Overall, I enjoyed the content and I can't wait for the next book in the series.

I really enjoyed this story and the narrator. I have enjoyed all of terry's books.

the narrator is trash. she has not read much by the way she makes her words come out.. lol. im so done. sam was ok, but this is not acceptable. guess im just going to have to give up on this one. no dis to terry tho.

Good book again. Not the same as The Sword of Truth series but still good!!

I was looking forward to another captivating adventure. This book fell way short of all of the other Rhal books in the prior series. Just because the narrator reads with a British accent does not make something interesting. I listened to the whole book hoping it would get better. It, unfortunately, does not.

The narrator's vocal fry and inability to correctly pronounce anything in this book makes it VERY difficult to get roped into. I would otherwise be extremely excited to dive in. This narrator does an injustice to Goodkind's work. He deserves better.

I'm really annoyed with Terry. He got me hooked with his earlier books but started throwing in random unneeded things that don't push the plot.. He did this again in this book. There were a few points in the book that left me asking "what was that about?" by the time I finished. I would like to rant about those points, but I don't think I can do that without spoiling anything. There is quite a bit of victim blaming, which seems a bit odd considering Richard (from the main series) never really seemed to focus on victim blaming. I know Nicci isn't perfect, but I feel like she should have learned and developed more as a character with all the time she spent with Richard. It's almost like she took a few steps back in terms of character development. It was nice to see Nicci develop more personal relations though. That was something we didn't see as much of in the main series.

Terry did it again, created a spell-binding story. Now I can't wait for the next book in the Nicki Chronicles
